AJOHTE!

We are so happy you found Slovak Roots&Routes! We are Saskia and Julia, sisters and both first-generation Slovak Americans. Our parents’ heritage has always been a central part of our lives, and the Slovak community we have grown up in has given us so much. Navigating the American higher education and job system is more difficult being first-generation students, so we wanted to create a space for students in a similar situation, to give back. Saskia is currently a junior graduating early from Southern Methodist University, and Julia is a high school senior. We are just in the beginning phase of this project, so we hope you will join us along for the ride— whether you are in high school, college, or freshly post-grad! Dakujeme!
